MagyarNew functions on Steam: game shopping is now even more convenient
On December 20, 2023, Steam announced in a blog post that users of the beta version of the Steam client will have access to a new shopping cart that can now be synchronized with all devices and simplifies the gifting of games. Steam users will also have more privacy. The beta phase was officially ended on March 4. The following functions are now available to all Steam users:
- Inline gifting: Players can send games to several friends at the same time in one step. Steam has optimized messaging for a convenient checkout process.
- One shopping cart for all devices: The shopping cart automatically synchronizes with all devices that users use to log into their Steam account - PC, smartphone, tablet and Steam Deck.
- Private games: Games can be marked as private before purchase so that friends are not aware of the purchase. This also works with games that are already in the library. Anyone who wants to keep their preferences for certain games secret or play them in peace without friends logging in to play with them now has the option to do so.

As a child in the 90s, my Gameboy was my steady companion. After school, the PlayStation was fired up. When I finally got my first PC, I was completely hooked. My passion for gaming has never waned since. For me, writing for Notebookcheck means reporting on topics that are really close to my heart - in addition to gaming, I also like to write about e-mobility, photovoltaics and innovative gadgets. When I'm not sitting at my computer, I'm probably on water rescue duty on the Baltic coast or trying to counteract the downsides of my geek life - namely sitting for long periods - at the local swimming pool.
